Notes


From their allergen list: We have worked diligently to remove wheat gluten from all our sauces, dressings, and proteins. Natural glutens remain only in our flour and wheat tortillas and in two desserts--tres leches and key lime pie. This means that we offer "oceans of gluten-free options" in our menu. All of these items are gluten-free: all enchiladas, all tacos, all salads (without the flour or wheat tortilla), all nachos, and our chicken tortilla so up...which uses corn strips.

As soon as you tell them you must have gluten free items and no cross-contamination, the person uses new gloves, and even gets chips from a separate area. I have eaten here 5 times with absolutely zero issues! They are all very nice and helpful!

We've been eating here since just after they opened and have had nothing but wonderful experiences. As soon as we say "gluten free" whoever is helping us immediately changes gloves and completes the entire order. Now we usually don't have to ask since they recognize us. Add the delicious food and generous servings to the helpful service, and we've never been disappointed.

The 1st time I ate here, after seeing thru this app they were "gluten trained", I was impressed. I told the girl I had a gluten allergy and she immediately changed her gloves and didn't touch anything else till she was done with my food. However, the 2nd and 3rd time, very different stories. The 2nd time I went there were no customers in front of me so when I told her I had a gluten allergy and she just kinda looked at me and said "uh-huh" without changing her gloves I thought ok well maybe she had just put them on and hadn't touched any flour tortillas yet, so I ordered the nachos after confirming with her there was no chance of cross contamination in the chips, she assured me, carelessly, there wasn't. Well my 3rd visit I let the woman know I had a gluten allergy, she just looked at me. Since I had just seen her touching the flour tortillas I asked her to please change her gloves. She did, but looked slightly annoyed about it. I was just about to order the nachos when I saw the other woman behind the counter flipping the flour tortillas and then use her hands, with the same gloves, to go over and scoop chips out into a container and put the rest from her hands back into the drawer. I then decided to stick with a corn tortilla fish taco. As I was standing there I saw as these employees repeatedly used their hands, not the tongs, to grab cheese, lettuce, etc. I was very disappointed! I had been so excited about a place that had "oceans of gluten free choices", the food may be naturally gluten free, but the cross contamination is certainly there!! I hope management/owners read these reviews and will properly train ALL of their employees and become a safe place for GF customers.

Staff was kind and knowledgeable. Changed gloves and washed their hands without being told. They also let us “tweak” the side of chips to have melted cheese instead of having to order a huge order of nachos for a child.
